Americans don't want an anti-choice justice
The story from the Bill O'Reillys out there is that most Americans want Roe overturned. In fact, a significant majority think Alito should not be confirmed if he thinks Roe should be overturned.
Now guess how many Republicans and conservatives would root for the nuclear option if we were dealing with a moderate or progressive judge in a Democratically controlled Senate. Methinks they'd be referring to it as a gross abuse of power.
- If it becomes clear Alito would vote to reverse Roe v. Wade, Americans would not want the Senate to confirm him, by 53% to 37%.
- If most Senate Democrats oppose the nomination and decide to filibuster against Alito, 50% of Americans believe they would be justified, while 40% say they would not.
